What characteristics are you looking for in the holster?
strap it to a belt, wear it comfortably while walking the fenceline or fishing, and not be awkward to pull or holster the gun. This is a full-size 22/45, a pretty big gun for a 22.
I'd also suggest a Wilderness instructor belt for use with the holster. It's rigid enough to avoid sagging under the weight of the pistol and can be ordered in various widths to match the loop of the holster; Original Instructor Belt: WildernessTactical Products, LLC
The 5 stitch model offers a good compromise between stiffness and comfort. The belts are infinitely adjustable and very durable. I have a couple that are over 10yrs old and they're still in great shape.
Just bought the 5.5 inch bull barrel with 2 mags. here in Huntsville, AL.
Could not beat the price $240 out the door....huge sale...
Have not shot it, but love the way it feels. Very steady, just kinda sits there when I point it at a target, lines up very nice....
For now, the only thing I dislike about it is the lower portion....that whole portion is plastic, cannot change grips or anything...maybe I can by a complete lower portion and then change grips.....
Anyone else???????????????????
Range report.....maybe this weekend..
The last model manufactured, of the Ruger 22/45 leaves a lot to be desired. The plastic on the grip frame is so soft that eventually the magazines don't want to stay fully inserted, causing jams and misfires. The early model of the 22/45 has a hard plastic grip and this problem doesn't occur. Below is a photo of some of my Ruger 22's, the top one has a Valquartson barrel installed, the bottom one has a Pact Lite (mfg Tactical Solutions) barrel installed. I no longer have the bottom one, I sold it at a gun show, but I kept the Pac Lite barrel and bought two models with the hard plastic grip frame. The other photo shows some single actions.

Nice collection! All you need is a few double actions.
Nice looking guns Tin Knocker, where are the rest of them?
